The Fair Share Report

12 Ash St

Bernards, NJ 07920

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $643,471

Likely range $525,810 – $904,059, from 12 comparable Bernards sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.12%

The state's official measure of how far Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $643,471 home should be assessed near $612,070.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$834,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $221,930 above what the ratio math suggests (36.3%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bernards home

$1.687 per $100 assessed

$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%

This home's own bill implies $1.584 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Public schools$8,572
